Senior Manufacturing Engineer (promoted to)

Swisslog - Health Care Solutions - Denver, Co

11/13/06 to 10/24/16

• Managed projects, initiated/reviewed/approved engineering changes, and coordinated many productivity/quality/sustaining activities. (ex. robot adhesive application saving over $40K/yr).

• Led project that reduced inspection by 14% in one year alone via process changes, in-line checklists, and product design changes.

• Designed and deployed custom tooling, machines, test equipment, and lean processes (saving 41% in some cases - ex. high volume automatic carrier hinge insertion machine).

• Utilized scatter diagrams, capability studies, MAIC methodology, and time studies to communicate needs, attain resources, and make changes.

• Observed operations, identified “muda”, attained quotes, justified capital equipment expenditures, and installed new processes. Reduced NVA over 60% in some cases (ex. automatic pallet consolidation equipment).

• Researched different sealants and tested each with HASS/HALT style rigors to replace soon to be obsolete sealant. Qualified products via differential and absolute measures.

• Developed sensor alignment “go/no go” gauges that reduced inspection time from over 2 hours

(CMM setup and run) to less than 5 minutes.

• Analyzed business process changes (internal & external), generated driver tree models and developed and executed project plans.

• Developed, tested, and deployed lower-cost packaging designs (reducing total cost over 50% in some instances).

• Championed and implemented on demand print at point of use reducing NVA by 4%.

• Leveraged insurance resources to attain ergonomic review and attained equipment to reduce injury risk in most susceptible areas.

• Assessed and directed activities of suppliers, engineers, associates, interns, and operators. Manufacturing Engineer

Martinez & Hromada Assoc., Inc. (Contract Engineering Service for Swisslog) - Denver, Co 7/31/06 to 11/12/06

• Collaboratively designed facilities plans and detailed work centers for new and growing products. Supported operations in-sourcing and out-sourcing strategic changes (saving over 12% in multiple cases).

• Revised products, assisted with qualification of suppliers, and developed new suppliers to reduce single source challenges (that kept us in business - shipping better product). Industrial Engineer

DisplayTech., Inc. - Longmont, Co

7/5/05 to 2/5/06

• Oversaw operation changes at key suppliers (concerning process & equipment improvements to achieve product performance and yield goals).

• Implemented short term test and recovery processes and long term mold design changes at suppliers (recovering 12.5% in high volume application).

• Improved product packaging design and handling methods (increasing yield 6%). Senior Quality Assurance Engineer (promoted to)

OnCommand., Inc. - San Jose, Ca & Denver, Co

4/16/01 to 6/18/05

• Developed metrics, database, and communication processes promoting focused activity/results (reducing in-line failures up to 7%).

• Reported and resolved product, packaging, systems, and operations problems with objective review, informal audits, and team facilitation (reducing delivered “out of box” failures by 4%).

• Utilized design for manufacturability DFM), value stream mapping (VSM), and quality techniques (Six Sigma, PDCA, Pareto) to make positive product and process changes.

• Optimized and standardized performance with Lean tools and ISO standards.

• Supervised and expedited “drop-ship” out-sourcing of mature servers and clients (saving 13%). EDUCATION
